Crosby injured after his face collided with Hanzal’s stick
Hansal with it in the middle of a rebuttal, quick shot kicked out of the collision. Yeah, Crosby went through the stick or not. I hope that's all it was, not some other sort of collision. Sidney Crosby getting himself up slowly. I did not see how he ended up on the ice. I think it was a stick follow-through, the shot of the stick right to the side of the face for Sidney Crosby. We had three sticks left, and that's a scary situation. No, it's right there, Hansal. I'm good. Yeah, when you see Hansal was in contact with Hornqvist, Hornqvist is lifting Hansal's stick, and he lifted it right into the face of Crosby as Crosby was trying to make a play right across that blue line. So, you know, you say players got to be in control of their stick.
